Don't mind me lurking. cnf I'm sorry, love. It's ok. I'm mostly frustrated with how my cycle played out. My body is usually super predictable. On to the next is all. I appreciate you ❤️

Hi everyone - I am jumping in.
This is our first cycle trying since our late loss in March. We have been to all the doctors appts, had all the tests and we are cleared and encouraged to start trying now.
Our appt releasing us was legit on the cusp of my O date, so unfortunately the only action we got (that could have led to conception) was twice the day AFTER I should have O'd. I don't think this cycle is likely - but we are enjoying trying again! Only chance this month will be if I O'd late.
I can test Saturday morning.
As much as I want to be pregnant it will start our crazy high risk ride - so I am sure I will also feel relief if this isn't out month. Funny how those feelings co-exist.
Good luck to everyone!

donnameagle I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed for you! I’m 8DPO, but I’m making myself wait to test until Sunday at 12DPO. I’m tempted to do it Friday at 10DPO but I’m worried it’ll be too early. My period is due Tuesday so we shall see.

I have been testing every single day like a fool. Negative and white as snow.Timing was off, I know it is not likely. Also, I have never gotten an early positive with any of my pregnancies. And yet, I keep peeing on things.
Fucking TTC life. LOL.
ETA:
katespade, Good luck to you!! I would wait till maybe Sunday at least so you don't get discouraged. But let's be honest I can't wait so if you need to take the test every single day - take the test! Haha.

Good luck everyone!
Jumping in here. Trying for #3. #1 was a fresh IVF transfer. #2 was a frozen transfer. Transfer in May was a negative. Transfer of our last embryo in August led to an chemical pregnancy of unknown location. My beta levels rose very slowly for almost 2 weeks but we never saw anything on ultrasound. I was less than 24 hrs from getting methotrexate when my beta levels finally dropped. Thank goodness bc methotrexate would have benched me for at least 3 months.
We decided to give ourselves a few medicated/monitored cycles to see how my body responds. We did a couple IUIs before moving to IVF which were unsuccessful. But that was almost 6 years ago. My H is getting a semen analysis this weekend. As long as he’s still looking good, we will just do timed intercourse. No need for IUI.
Of course my period didn’t return after the loss (I have never ovulated on my own really), so we just finished progesterone and forced a period. CD 3 baseline ultrasound today looked perfect. My tubes are confirmed to be clear and ovaries look good. Starting letrozole tonight!

Anyone want to look at a pee stick for me? CD12, but this was not FMU.

I feel like I see something towards the bottom katespade but I have terrible line eye. FF has invert and some line test thing if you upload it to your account there.

katespade,I am not a good line looker - but I think I see a shadow... Invert it on your phone and see if there is anything there? I started CD1 RIGHT ON TIME on Saturday morning. LOL. It was mildly disappointing but I am over it now. So looks like we will actually be "trying" this month and we are both looking forward to that. Bright side, right?

I'm CD11 today and having lots of fertile CM but very negative OPKs. This does tell me I'm likely to O more on time this cycle. It would be nice if my body went back to normal.

I think this is a better line, just took this a bit ago. TMI- I’ve got a tiny bit of (brown) spotting but I’m really hopeful. Also slightly paranoid that this will end up being ectopic. But praying all the prayers that the spotting stops and I get a darker line in the AM.

katespade I totally see that one! Hi all. I'm jumping in here. Not TTC yet. We're avoiding but cycle tracking, but another pregnancy would be welcome if we had an oops. CD4 here.

Morning guys. I’m definitely bleeding today. If I keep bleeding and keep getting BFPs I’ll go in to the OB, but I assume this is my CD1. Sigh.

I'm so sorry katespade. I would think since this has happened more than once it's worth a mention to your OB.

I'm so sorry katespade. I would think since this has happened more than once it's worth a mention to your OB. I called and talked to a nurse briefly and her response was that I really should not test prior to my cycle being late. She’s going to ask the doctor if they want me to come in for bloodwork.

I mean, yeah I get this. But what would a positive mean otherwise?

I'm sorry katespade. I hope your doctor orders bloodwork so you can get a definitive answer.

I've been thrown for a bit of a loop regarding TTC... I stopped taking the pill on Oct 31. I haven't had any bleeding and I got a positive OPK on November 12. But the only time MH and I had sex was Nov 7 or 8, and that's because MH didn't want an August baby... He'd mentioned that before but I didn't think he was really serious. I've also been suffering from severe stress over the last little while (but am out of the woods in that respect, which is why we decided to TTC now in the first place) so I think he was also concerned that it was too soon to get pregnant. I am actually totally fine with waiting until next month. I suppose there's a tiiiiiny chance I'll conceive this cycle but I seriously doubt it.
But now I've been thrown again. I'm technically a PhD student (just came back in September after taking a 16 month leave). I SAHM with my two kids and I am so burnt out on the school aspect of my life. I was willing to give it a shot this semester but it usually feels like a huge burden and source of guilt. I was ready to call it quits because we want a third child, and I know I won't last in the program if I have another baby. But I talked to my advisor today and he was SO encouraging and it made me feel like maybe I CAN do it... but that would mean holding off on a third child for who knows how long, and MH and I both really want a third. I have to make a choice and I am so unbelievably torn. Thinking about truly withdrawing from school makes me cry because I've wanted to finish for so long, and it's such a huge part of my identity. But the way my life looks when I try to cram in writing a dissertation on top of being a SAHM is so overwhelming, and I want to be able to enjoy my life and my kids. Trying to make this decision is really eating me up.
Sorry for the vent. I joined this group because I was so excited for a 3rd baby and felt so ready to put the PhD behind me. But now I'm conflicted all over again.

mintyblueair, I am not a PHD student, so grain of salt. But if you want to do both can you look into how that would work? Can you afford to hire some help? I would not give up on either dream, if at all possible. I am also embarking on my third and I am at a really pivotal and time consuming point in my career, but do not have time to wait to have another kid. So, I am going to make it work. I hope you can too!!

Just because they want you to not know doesn't stop it from happening. If you choose to test prior to being late and find out this is happening then they should extend a little empathy because it seems like there could be an implantation issue they could possibly address for you. To tell you that feels dismissive, but obviously I wasn't on the receiving end of the phone either. I'm sorry still.
